Nutri-Score C
Average nutritional quality
- Discover the new Nutri-Score!
  The computation of the Nutri-Score is evolving to provide better recommendations based on the latest scientific evidence.
  Main improvements:
  Better score for some fatty fish and oils rich in good fats
  Better score for whole products rich in fiber
  Worse score for products containing a lot of salt or sugar
  Worse score for red meat (compared to poultry)
  → Discover all the improvements of the new Nutri-Score
- What is the Nutri-Score?
  
  The Nutri-Score is a logo on the overall nutritional quality of products.
  
  The score from A to E is calculated based on nutrients and foods to favor (proteins, fiber, fruits, vegetables and legumes ...) and nutrients to limit (calories, saturated fat, sugars, salt). The score is calculated from the data of the nutrition facts table and the composition data (fruits, vegetables and legumes).
  
  → Learn more about the Nutri-Score
Negative points: 9/55
- Energy
  4/10 points (1624kJ)
  
  Energy intakes above energy requirements are associated with increased risks of weight gain, overweight, obesity, and consequently risk of diet-related chronic diseases.
- Sugar
  0/15 points (1.7g)
  
  A high consumption of sugar can cause weight gain and tooth decay. It also augments the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardio-vascular diseases.
- Saturated fat
  1/10 points (1.4g)
  
  A high consumption of fat, especially saturated fats, can raise cholesterol, which increases the risk of heart diseases.
- Salt
  4/20 points (0.83g)
  
  A high consumption of salt (or sodium) can cause raised blood pressure, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Positive points: 4/17
- Proteins
  2/7 points (6.9g)
  
  Foods that are rich in proteins are usually rich in calcium or iron which are essential minerals with numerous health benefits.
- Fiber
  2/5 points (4.9g)
  
  Consuming foods rich in fiber (especially whole grain foods) reduces the risks of aerodigestive cancers, cardiovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes.
- Fruits, vegetables and legumes
  0/5 points (0%)
  
  Consuming foods rich in fruits, vegetables and legumes reduces the risks of aerodigestive cancers, cardiovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes.
- Details of the calculation of the Nutri-Score
  
  This product is not considered a beverage for the calculation of the Nutri-Score.
  
  Points for proteins are counted because the negative points are less than 11.
  
  Nutritional score: 5 (9 - 4)

- Salt in moderate quantity (0.831%)
  What you need to know
  
  A high consumption of salt (or sodium) can cause raised blood pressure, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
  
  Many people who have high blood pressure do not know it, as there are often no symptoms.
  
  Most people consume too much salt (on average 9 to 12 grams per day), around twice the recommended maximum level of intake.
  
  Recommendation: Limit the consumption of salt and salted food
  
  Reduce the quantity of salt used when cooking, and don't salt again at the table.
  
  Limit the consumption of salty snacks and choose products with lower salt content.

Additives

E122 - Azorubine

Azorubine: Azorubine is an azo dye produced as a disodium salt. In its dry form, the product appears red to maroon. It is mainly used in foods which are heat-treated after fermentation. It has E number E122.
Source: Wikipedia

E170 - Calcium carbonates

Calcium carbonate: Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound with the formula CaCO3. It is a common substance found in rocks as the minerals calcite and aragonite -most notably as limestone, which is a type of sedimentary rock consisting mainly of calcite- and is the main component of pearls and the shells of marine organisms, snails, and eggs. Calcium carbonate is the active ingredient in agricultural lime and is created when calcium ions in hard water react with carbonate ions to create limescale. It is medicinally used as a calcium supplement or as an antacid, but excessive consumption can be hazardous.
